One of the most dramatic moments in my Hard Man story. A pylon collapses during a match. Superb artwork by Doug Maxted. No one was seriously injured during the making of this episode.

Another of our Tiger competition covers. It features winning Tiger readers who went to Mallory Park for the finals of the Tiger/Aurora table motor racing championship. Are any of those readers looking at this? Any memories? The Trevor Francis American diary was featured inside!

Who remembers this Tiger cover we published? Who remember Stretch Armstrong? There were 75 to win when readers voted in the Tiger Sports Star of the Year competition. The eventual winner was Peter Shilton

On the left is the Roy badge we gave away as a free gift, when we launched the Melchester Gola kit. On the right is a page advert featuring that new strip. Awesome!

One of our most popular stories in Roy of the Rovers was 'The Safest Hands in Soccer'. Here's Gordon Stewart in action and also a pic of Fred, Gordon's lucky mascot. Script by Gil Page and art by Osvaldo Torta.

Saddened to hear of the passing of Leighton James.
Such a talented footballer. Here's a Tiger page where he was Your Choice. RIP.

Today would have been the 70th birthday of Trevor Francis. Here's the Tiger spread when we celebrated Trevor's 21st birthday. He wrote for Tiger for a long time and was a good friend.

For 23 years I've had lots of online chats with Ian Wheeler He's interviewed me and I contributed to the fanzine he edited 'Eagle Flies Again'. We'd never met, until Saturday, when we had lunch at a local pub. It was great meeting and talking comics with such an expert!

The cricket season is here! Take a look at bowler Billy Dane who we featured on this Tiger cover. Dead-Shot's old boots are making him bowl really fast!

Here are the first 2 pages of a very strong story I wrote for Eagle, under the name D. Horton. Survival was all about a virus that killed everyone except a few children of a particular blood type. Brilliant artwork by Ortiz.

Very sad to hear of the passing of Joe Kinnear. Here he was part of the Spurs 1975/76 team group which appeared in Tiger. RIP

I've been showing pics of Roy and the Man United players. I thought it would be good to add this pic, showing that Tiger was also linking with the club. I was delighted when Tommy Docherty agreed to this team photo, with everyone holding copies of Tiger. No fees involved!

This week in Roy of the Rovers, 1981: Roy and Penny were back together again. I thought we should have a happy ending!

It's the morning of another Cup Final. At the Man United hotel, manager Tommy Docherty relaxes at breakfast with a copy of Roy of the Rovers. This concludes the series of Roy/Man U photos. Worth saying that no payments were involved. It was all done for free!

Continuing the series of photos taken at Man United's hotel on the day before a Cup Final, here's the moment when manager Tommy Docherty offered Roy a contract to sign for United. He even supplied a pen! Roy said he was totally happy at Melchester Rovers!

Another pic taken at the Man United Cup Final hotel. This time Roy poses with United's Alex Stepney. A goal scorer and a goal stopper!

There was a lot of interest in the Gordon Hill photo I posted. Here's another pic, taken on the same day, as Roy poses with striker Stuart Pearson. More to follow later...
